Scientists fear new attempts to undermine climate action

Britain’s scientists are drawing up a plan to fight renewed attempts by sceptics and industry-funded lobby groups to derail international action on climate change.
According to a confidential internal memo, the Royal Society expects “groups and individuals” to question the science of global warming and the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

It predicts that lobbyists will try to undermine a report next year from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is expected to give a new warning on climate change.
